RIP Matthew Lamb

Our beloved Fr. Matthew Lamb died early yesterday morning due to complications from blood clotting in his lungs and pulmonary fibrosis. Fr. Lamb was a wonderful and generous friend, colleague, professor, and mentor at AMU. He was also a fine theologian and scholar. The University, the graduate theology program, and the Church owe him a great deal.

JD Flynn has published a short piece on Fr. Lamb at the Catholic News Agency here.

It was a rare homily in which Fr. Lamb didn't mention the "portals of death." Now he has passed through them. He will be greatly missed. Requiescat in pace.
